silver beer goblet with battle scenes. first half of the 19th century.

This rare silver beer goblet is a magnificent example of decorative and applied art of the first half of the 19th century, created in the style of pompous Baroque. The large-scale relief decorating the body depicts a dramatic scene of a medieval battle, filled with dynamics of movement, facial expressions and skillful elaboration of details. The composition shows high skill of minting: the figures of horsemen, attack scenes, fallen warriors and armed infantrymen are conveyed with exceptional plasticity and expressiveness. The rim of the goblet is decorated with a belt of fruit and leaves, symbolizing abundance and well-being. The lid is crowned with a large apple-shaped ball, complemented by relief details and leaf motifs. A luxurious handle, decorated with curls and floral elements, completes the ensemble. The inner surface is covered with gold plating, which gives the product additional sophistication.
